Agenda Why we need to audit the PPSO  Stage One of the audit  Confirm the Reasons for the PPSO  What Does Your PPSO Provide  Stage Two of the audit  Defining the Needs now of the Users of the PPSO (both supply and demand)

4
Why we need to audit the PPSO  The needs of the users may have changed  Our skills etc may have changed  Are we supporting yesterday’s organisation or today's – what about tomorrow’s?  Do we provide the right tools and infrastructure?  Are we working at the right level?

5
Confirm the reasons for the PPSO  Review the PPSO’s Terms of Reference (especially who owns it)  Review the PPSO’s Business Case  Review who owns Your Programme and Project Support Infrastructure?

7
The questions to ask  When was it* developed  When was it last reviewed  How often was it used last year * It - is everything in the Catalogue

8
Re- defining the needs of the users of the PPSO  The Senior Managers – What do they NEED with  Other Managers - How can we help them do their job better  Programme and Project Managers- What added value can we provide  Internal and External Audit – What can we do to help them

9
Summary  Audit First - what are you doing right and what is a success and vice versa  The organisation only values what provides it with value  PPSO should be targeted towards Value Added Services not being an overhead
